Some people create their own storm and then get upset when it rains!
Understanding the causes of an event or situation can help prevent these from occurring or make them happen. Fire can be caused by lightning, matches, electrical causes, and other things. Sometimes there are causes that can not be predicted or anticipated, such as natural disasters. In many cases the cause of an event is known though, and steps can be taken to either prevent or precipitate the event depending on whether it is good or bad.
